Ricky Rubio dunked, and Karl Anthony Towns couldn't believe it
When you think "Ricky Rubio" you think "threading an elbow pass through three defenders for an assist on a fast break dunk." You never really think about Rubio gliding through the lane and throwing one down himself. Especially since he's never actually done so in a real NBA game.
Then this happened during warmups before the Timberwolves' Monday night game against the Golden State Warriors.

Crazy right? Karl Anthony Towns couldn't believe it either.
Only, Rubio is 6-foot-4, you know. And even though he's never dunked in an NBA game before, he did dunk while he was playing in Spain, so its happened at least once.
So, maybe one time down the floor in the not-so-distant future, Zach LaVine runs the fast break and Rubio oops the alley, huh? How about that?
